LOOK: Pours a light bright caramel to a butterscotch color with a light cream to tan head.
AROMA: Aromatic hops that include scents that include pumpkin pie, cinnamon, brown sugar and sweet malts.
TASTE: Follows the nose especially in the pumpkin, cinnamon taste. Stronger on the bread malts than expected while providing a nice overall malt, hop balance.
FEEL: Sweet with a drying finish.
Very nice Ale and great for a session ale in the early fall months.

A decent beer but nothing to write home about. I didn’t really get much pumpkin from it.

Easy to drink more than one. It's a pale ale with subtle allspice.
